Overview
WHAT
Petaluma’s Butter & Egg Days Parade and Celebration is a quarter-century old tradition in
Downtown Petaluma, celebrating the region’s rich agricultural history as the birthplace of the
incubator, which was the beginning of Petaluma’s “Egg Basket to The World” title, and as one
of the premier dairy regions in the country. Together with The Petaluma River, eggs and dairy
products created an economy that turned Petaluma into one of the most prosperous communities
in the state in the early 1900’s.
The Butter & Egg Days Parade and Celebration typically draws over 25,000 attendees. The
community parade showcases the best of Petaluma and Petaluma’s history. The 100-unit parade
will have over 3,000 participants, more than a hundred volunteers, and support from every
aspect of community life. The spectators see floats, drill teams, novelty units, equestrian units,
marching bands, and much more.
Activities before, during and after the parade include a block-long outdoor food court offering a
wide variety of festival foods and beverages, a large area of arts and crafts exhibitors and a
special area of activities to entertain youngsters with inflatable’s, rides, and hands-on activities.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to participate in one of the North Bay’s largest events.
